Worst Song Contest 1

Worst Song Contest 1 was the a spin-off contest based off of Maia Song Contest, but themed around sending joke songs, or bad songs. It was be hosted in Stekkhylm, Temekylopia, in the Paramoisu Arena. The winner was Lussantia, who sent the artist Mulher Coite, with the song "Mulher coité", and it received 136 points.

Rules
The rules of the contest, as the TSBN unveiled them, are similar to the basic Maia Song Contest rules. A maximum number of 25 countries will be put in place, preventing a Semi-Final from being held. The rules may be subject to change as we go along, but

To be able to compete, you need to have participated at least in one Maia Song Contest edition, or one if its spin-offs.

The song must respect the following rules:
 * The song can not have more than 150 million views. This is to prevent overly mainstream songs to be sent (such as Gangnam Style and The Fox).
 * The song must be at least 1 minute and 30 seconds long, or a maximum of 8 minutes long.
 * The song must be of a joke nature; bad singing, bad lyrics, bad music, funny songs etc. are all encouraged.
 * Not having previously competed in Maia Song Contest or one of its spin-offs
 * Not having previously competed in the Eurovision Song Contest or Turkvizyon

'''Before you make your entry public, make sure to send your entry to Temekylopia (StewenQ on Skype), as we need to confirm that the song is allowed. This is to prevent that no serious songs will be sent in, and a small group of people will discuss every entry sent to the contest. This is to ensure that all entries will live up to a certain quality barrier.'''

Other countries

 * Arkaystia - The Arkaystian delegation announced their intention to debut in the contest but later revealed that they would not be taking part after the list of songs they sent to the organizing committee was rejected. It is believed the list contained the whole Taylor Swift discography. This comes out of the feud between Swift and Arkaystia, where she has been silenced from airways for "crimes against the music industry". After not being allowed to enter Swift in the contest Arkaystia decided to add 250,000 to their prize money for The Amazing Race Arkaystia 5 instead. Despite further claims that Arkaystia would take part in the contest it was revealed by Head of Delegation Stefjan Kaysic on 15 June 2017 that Arkaystia would not take part due to the contest clashing with political elections. However, on 21 June 2017, by a surprising turn of events, the Arkaystian delegation confirmed participation for Worst Song Contest.


 * - Björnsk Television (BTV) was allegedly approached by TSBN asking for them to enter the contest and submit their "worst song", with it being reported that the channel simply responded "There is no such thing". The country ultimately has not confirmed participation and is thought unlikely to compete. However, on 20 June 2017, Slay TV showed interest in participating in the contest, and the application was approved, both by Björnsk Television and TSBN.
